Reuters has two-day jump on bullish aviation orders forecast

Shares in plane maker EADS rose 2 percent on July 21, the morning after the sales chief of its Airbus unit told Reuters on the sidelines of the Farnborough Airshow that Airbus would exceed its previous orders target by around a third to reach 400.
